    '98 VFR fuel filter costs $60 ???

    After cleaning the inside of the tank on my "98 VFR, I thought I'd replace the fuel filter that attaches to the fuel pump. Local dealer lists the price as $61. Checked Bike Bandit on-line and they want $58. Anyone know of a less expensive alternative ? The thing is made from steel and has male hose nipples at either end ( just like the kind you see in an auto parts store for under $10).

    Here's a factory one for $44.45.

    This place has the best prices and fastest shipping I've found on the net so far. Also worked with them on the phone for some parts. Seems like great people. They are in Grand Rapids MI. shspowersports

    BIKE BANDIT has the HIGHEST prices of anyone on line!!!!
    Go to JPcycles dot com.

    I just go the the auto parts store and get a fuel filter and paint it black.
    Costs me $6.00 NOT $61.00!!!!! cheeeesssshh!

    All the car and hot rod stuff is cheap.
    I wanted a LED taillight and all the websites wanted $70 and UP!!
    I went online to lights for school buses and they had lots of LED tailights and parts and it was like $19.00 for a LED tail light. You can just gut them and use the internal parts etc.,.

    Some things are getting crazy - like $100.00 for every item.

    It must be a really nice filter for $60.

    actaully it's a plain steel housing with 5/16 o.d. hose bibs on either end. I found one that was just a little smaller overall in an auto parts store for $6.

    Thanks for all the replys.
